"Knock knock—"

Zhang Xiuqin immediately got up and looked at the door vigilantly, "Who?" ”

"Two guests, Mrs. Wei has prepared dinner, do you want-"

Before the maid finished speaking, Su Xiaoling interrupted her with joy: "Got it, we'll go right away!" ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly took Zhang Xiuqin's hand, opened the door happily, coughed lightly, and pretended to be arrogant: "What are you doing in a daze, don't take us there?" ”

The little girl was very uncomfortable by this arrogant attitude, but because Xia Wanrou specially ordered her to take care of her and not to be lazy, she had to hide her displeasure, lowered her head and said, "Please come with me, two guests." ”

When the two arrived at the dining room, Xia Wanrou and Xiaoman were already sitting there, Su Xiaoling was secretly a little unhappy, but because of Xia Wanrou's face, she couldn't have a seizure, so she had to pull her mother to sit down.

Xiao Man was wearing a jasper-colored long skirt, covered with a misty coat, the neckline and cuffs of the coat were locked with silk threads, very elegant, even her long hair was only pulled up with a carved wooden hairpin at will, and the sideburns hung loosely with a little broken hair, revealing a careless beauty.

Xia Wanrou was still wearing the lilac-colored blouse, and there were not many beads in her hair, but a discerning person could see at a glance that these jewelry were expensive and not vulgar.

Compared with the two of them, Su Xiaoling's water-red dress looks very tacky, not to mention that she also wears a bunch of golden gadgets on her head, ears, and wrists, and the whole person looks more and more vulgar.

But Su Xiaoling didn't realize it, but thought that she had finally overpowered Su Xiaoman, and more and more showed the gold objects on her wrists and ears, mentioning one sentence every three sentences, and wishing to stand on the city wall to show her gold bracelets and gold earrings to the entire Donglan Kingdom.

Seeing this, Xia Wanrou simply obeyed her mind and asked directly, "Xiaoling, are you wearing a gold bracelet on your hand?" It looks so good, and it cost a lot of money, right? ”

Although she is a lady who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, but after following Xiaoman to do business during this time, she also understands these things in the market, and the gilded bracelet will definitely not be like this, and looking at these things together, there must be three or four taels, which are converted into silver, so at least thirty or forty taels of silver!

What's more, this is only the price of gold, Xiaoling's set of jewelry is very finely carved, and the manual cost is at least a few taels, so carefully selected, this set of jewelry has to have fifty taels.

When she was in Taoyuan County before, she also went to Xiaoman's house as a guest, knowing the other party's family background, plus Xiaoman had already told her about the consequences of the matter, but because Su Xiaoling was already married, it was unknown whether this jewelry was made for her by her husband's family, so this matter has to be investigated.

"My sister has good eyesight, my set of jewelry is real gold, and I am usually reluctant to wear it. It's not a dinner with my sister today, it's a big occasion, so I took out this set of jewelry and put it on. Su Xiaoling's eyebrows fluttered, and she was very proud.

As she spoke, Su Xiaoling looked at Su Xiaoman again, with a bit of show-off in her tone, "Sister Xiaoman, do you think my jewelry looks good?" ”

Su Xiaoman had received Xia Wanrou's advice before, but at this time, she didn't listen to anything outside the window, and was bent on tasting which dish on the table was the best, so for Xiaoling's show-off, she only nodded sullenly, "It's good-looking, it's very good for you." ”

She didn't bother to care who gave her this gold jewelry, and she didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of childlike show-off.

"No, my jewelry set cost a lot of money!" Su Xiaoling became more and more proud, and glanced at her gold bracelet from time to time, feeling happy in her heart.

As soon as he heard about "money", Xiaoman's chopsticks paused for picking up vegetables, and he wanted to use this to teach Su Xiaoling a lesson, you have money to buy jewelry, but you don't have money to treat your father?

But before she could open her mouth, Xia Wanrou quickly sandwiched a piece of fish meat into her bowl, and said with a smile: "Xiaoman, you are pregnant now, eat more, eat quickly." ”

Xiaoman bit his lip dissatisfied, didn't Sister Wanrou mean that she wanted to shut up?

Yes! Bear with it! As long as you can get out their truth, then you can endure it!

Su Xiaoling didn't notice Su Xiaoman's mood changes at all, she ate beautifully, dangling her gold jewelry from time to time, occasionally deliberately teasing Su Xiaoman a few words, looking at her sister's deflated look, the smile on her face became more and more proud.

Xia Wanrou on the side smiled secretly in her heart when she saw this, this girl is so naïve and easy to deceive, and she doesn't know how she came to Shangjing all the way safely.

However, slander is slander, and she still has a smile on her face, "Xiaoling, I heard Xiaoman say that you are also married, how about it, what does your husband do?" Do you want to come to Beijing? ”

"Really? Can he really come to Beijing? Su Xiaoling was both delighted and surprised, she put down her chopsticks and got up, walked to Xia Wanrou's side and took her arm, and said affectionately: "Sister Wanrou, if you can let my man come to Beijing, then you will be my sister in the future!" No! It's closer than your sister! ”

Xiao Man, who was eating silently, lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and snorted coldly in his heart.

Zhang Xiuqin was even more pleased, her eyes looked at Xia Wanrou with a blank look, and she didn't move away for a moment.

Seeing this, Xia Wanrou smiled gently, "Of course you can, but you have to tell me what your husband does and what he is capable of, and I can arrange it for him." ”

"He's just a farmer, except for farming, where is everything!" Su Xiaoling said with a smile.

Xia Wanrou secretly understood, this is right, since Su Xiaoling's husband is just an ordinary farmer, then these jewelry must have been bought by her with the money left by Xiaoman.

Thinking about it, she said again: "Although my husband's family has some skills in Shangjing, if your husband has no strengths, I'm afraid I won't be able to arrange it for you, I'm really sorry." ”

"Huh? Then this can't be done?! Zhang Xiuqin exclaimed in disappointment.

Su Xiaoling frowned anxiously, her eyes rolled for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, she shook Xia Wanrou's arm and coquettishly, "Sister Wanrou, Sister Wanrou, my man actually knows something else, he will do business!" He made a small profit a few days ago! ”

"Doing business?" Xia Wanrou was a little surprised.

Even Xiao Man, who was only concerned about eating, raised his head and looked at Su Xiaoling with some surprise.

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, Su Xiaoling straightened her chest, cleared her throat, and raised her chin proudly, "That's right, a few days ago, Taoyuan County went to a group of caravans, they lived there for a long time, once my man and I went to the city to buy something, and I happened to meet them on the way." Then my man became very good friends with them, and later, they also took my man out of the door, and in just a few days, my man earned more than a dozen taels of silver! ”

"Are you sure they're in business and not something nasty?" Su Xiaoling said coldly.

Su Xiaoling immediately stomped her feet and shouted: "Su Xiaoman, what are you talking about!" Don't you see me! ”

Seeing this, Xia Wanrou hurriedly persuaded her, but Xiaoman's stubbornness came up, and no one could persuade her.

She got up and snorted coldly, "Since your husband has earned so much money, why doesn't he know that he has taken out a part of it to treat my father and made so much money, why do you need to come all the way to borrow money from me?" Su Xiaoling, don't take others for fools! ”

"You! You! Su Xiaoling's face was red and her neck was thick, except for pointing at Su Xiaoman's nose, let alone arguing, she couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Xia Wanrou hurriedly pulled Xiao Man to sit down, caressed Xiao Man's back with her right hand, and kept giving her comfort, and persuaded in a low voice: "Xiao Man, you are pregnant now, don't get angry, don't be angry about this idea." ”

Xiaoman leaned back in the chair and didn't say anything, just looked at Su Xiaoling and smiled coldly.

Such a sneer made Su Xiaoling's heart furious, she swallowed her saliva unnaturally, and then moved back to her position, she wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, and continue to discuss with Xia Wanrou about arranging her husband to come to Beijing, but Su Xiaoman's cold gaze kept looking at her, so that Su Xiaoling didn't have the courage to speak again.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very strange for a while, the food on the table did not move much, but everyone had already put down their chopsticks.

The girls waiting behind Pearl and Hongyu also became nervous, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of making too much noise to make the master angry.

I don't know how long this atmosphere lasted, and then Su Xiaoman said with a calm face, "Su Xiaoling, let me ask you a question, what are you going to do when you come to borrow so much money this time?" ”

"What do you care about me!" Su Xiaoling rolled her eyes and didn't even look at Su Xiaoman.

Su Xiaoman leaned on the cushion, looking lazy, but this momentum was much higher than Su Xiaoman's for no reason, she sneered disdainfully, "I can't care about you, so what are you doing here?" Why don't you hurry up? ”

was embarrassed by Su Xiaoman in front of so many people, Su Xiaoling's face naturally couldn't get by, "Sister Wanrou, look at her!" She's been bullying me like that for so many years! Sister Wanrou! I'm so sad, I'm so wronged. ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Xiaoman, whose face was pale, got up, she pointed at Su Xiaoling and reprimanded unceremoniously: "What are you wronged?" What are you sad about? Su Xiaoling, don't kick my nose in the face! This is the Wei Mansion, not the Su family, and you can't be allowed to jump up and down, reversing black and white! You say, what the hell are you going to do with so much money?! ”

"Su Xiaoman! Xiaoling is also your sister no matter how you say it, are you talking like this in front of outsiders? Zhang Xiuqin also stood up, "I'll say it straight!" Xiaoling's man wants to do business, so that's why we came to ask you for money! You just say give it or don't give it! ”
